Dr. Karl Menninger, the famous American psychiatrist, once gave a lecture
on mental health & was answering questions from the audience. One man
asked, “What would you advise a person to do if that person felt a nervous
breakdown coming on?” Everyone there expected him to answer, “Consult a
psychiatrist.” To their astonishment he replied: Leave your house, go
across the railroad tracks, find someone who is in need, and do something
to help that person.
